What do critics say about the Nothing Phone (4a) Pro?
TechRadar90
The reviewer found the phone a delight to use, with handsome design, strong mid-range performance and a playful Glyph Matrix.
ZDNET80
The most premium-feeling Nothing phone, with bold design, smooth software and good battery.
Trusted Reviews80
One of the most distinctive phones around and a joy to use if you are not a power user.
Tech Advisor80
A stylish, well-balanced phone with a fine display and flexible cameras, but the cheaper Phone (4a) and rivals offer better value, longer updates and extra features.
WIRED70
A solid, enjoyable phone with a rare telephoto camera, but only a close second to the Pixel 10a at this price because of weaker updates, low-light cameras and no wireless charging.
Expert Reviews60
A well-built phone with a standout telephoto camera, but it is too close to the much cheaper Phone (4a) to justify an extra 150 pounds.
